Chapter 52: I have learned from Wang Ying for two lifetimes, and now I have experienced this for the first time.
Qian Tongsheng found two copies of the workshop work standard manual from the filing cabinet and gave them to Wang Ying.
Wang Ying took it and immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Director. Please write me another note."
"What note?" Qian Tongsheng said.
"Just write that all members of our food research and development team are dispatched by you to go to the fourth workshop for training. The specific training content should be: the production formula and specific process of all products in the fourth workshop." Wang Ying said with a smile, glancing at Fang Hongjun.
Qian Tongsheng also glanced at Fang Hongjun and said with a smile, "No need for a note, just go ahead. Your Director Fang is here too, so how can he not teach you?"
"You'd better write one for me. This is also in line with the factory regulations in the employee handbook," said Wang Ying.
"Okay, I'll write it for you. It's a good thing that the young comrade abides by the factory rules." Qian Tongsheng took out the red line notebook used exclusively in their factory, wrote a note to Wang Ying according to what Wang Ying said, signed it, and stamped it.
Fang Hongjun's face, which didn't look very friendly to begin with, now looked a little scary.
Wang Ying looked at the note and found no mistakes or omissions. Satisfied, he accepted it and said to Qian Tongsheng, "We will submit a report after we finish our study and will definitely complete your assignment."
Qian Tongsheng thought, "I didn't give you the assignment, you came up with it yourself." Qian Tongsheng knew Wang Ying's actions well. This little girl was really brave. It wasn't easy to get into Workshop 4, and even if you got in, it wasn't easy to get out.
"Then I won't disturb the two leaders." Wang Ying said.
"Go ahead, learn well, and work hard," Qian Tongsheng said with a smile. "If you want to develop new products, you have to go to the production front."
"Yes!" Wang Ying responded loudly.
Wang Ying left the factory director's office, and Fang Hongjun sat there motionless with a grim face.
Wang Ying walked to the door and saw that there was no one outside. He pretended to go away, then tiptoed back to eavesdrop.
I heard Fang Hongjun say from inside, "Did you really sign a note for her, telling them to go to my fourth workshop?"
"They are all new recruits and they are supposed to be trained and learn on the job. Otherwise, how can they carry out their work with just theory?" said Qian Tongsheng.
"Then we can go to another workshop," Fang Hongjun said. "I know some people suspect me and want to punish me. But I'm a Red Army soldier, a descendant of a martyr. I'm upright and honest. If they want to investigate me, go ahead! Finding a little girl to take my job is nothing!"
"Who took your job? She's an acting team leader, and you're the workshop director," Qian Tongsheng said. "Besides, no one wants to investigate you. Don't let your imagination run wild! Without Martyr Fang, who knows how many more people would have died in Beichong. We all remember him. How could we possibly treat the descendants of a martyr so badly?"
This was something Fang Hongjun often said, but Qian Tongsheng said it first, leaving Fang Hongjun speechless for a moment.
Director Qian continued, "If you think that way, they're here to take the blame for you. Every year, your Workshop Four overspends on welfare programs, and every year, you get scolded. But this year, you won't be the one getting scolded. I remember when you were scolded last year, you said you wouldn't do it next year, and whoever wants to do it can do it. Look, the organization doesn't want you to do it this year. You have to understand the organization's painstaking efforts. The organization is understanding!"
Wang Ying almost laughed out loud outside the door. After all, he was an old comrade and an old leader who knew how to speak. She had to learn from him.
Wang Ying felt that Fang Hongjun would definitely not be able to sit still and would come out, so he quickly ran away on tiptoe.
After returning to the office, Wang Ying still had a smile on his face.
"Team leader, has the leader agreed?" Xu Lili asked.
"We agreed. It's our legitimate request, so why wouldn't we agree?" Wang Ying said, placing the workshop work standards manual on Zhou Qianjin and Xu Lili's desks. "Read this, and then pass it on to the people behind you."
Luo Wenshu stood up and looked at the pamphlet in front of Zhou Qianjin, nodded and said, "You really need to read it. Entering the workshop is no joke. Production is the most important thing."
Wang Ying returned to his desk and said, "By the way, after we finish studying in the workshop, we have to write a study report."
"Another report to write!" Xu Lili got a headache when she heard about writing a report.
"I took the initiative to write this report," Wang Ying said. "We shouldn't write bureaucratic documents just for show. We should write about what we actually saw, thought, and learned. We've never been to a workshop before, so this is our first time there, so we're bound to learn something. Writing down what we learn will also be helpful for our future work. The process of writing is also a process of summarizing, digesting, and improving."
At this time, the four of them turned their heads and looked at Wang Ying.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Team leader, you are so nice. You are willing to teach us everything." Xu Lili is younger than Wang Ying and is a girl, so she said it openly.
The other three men also had the same idea, but they were too embarrassed to say it. Zhou Qianjin, who was always good at flattery, was unable to say anything flattering at this time.
"That's nothing," Wang Ying said. "Hurry up and take a look. After you're done, we'll discuss it and then go to Workshop 4 this afternoon."
The rest of the people turned their heads back, only Wu Haiyang was still looking at Wang Ying.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Wang Ying asked him.
"No, nothing." Wu Haiyang quickly turned around, his face actually feeling a little hot.
Wang Ying saw Xu Lili finish reading the booklet in less than ten minutes and handed it to Wu Haiyang, then reminded him, "You must remember every word and make no mistakes. We didn't come to Workshop 4 to get killed, understand?"
Xu Lili was frightened by Wang Ying's words, and she pulled the booklet back from Wu Haiyang's hand and continued reading.
After a whole morning, the development team studied the workshop work standard manual thoroughly.
Wang Ying showed everyone the note the factory director had written for her and said, "We'll go to Workshop 4 this afternoon. This is the note I asked the factory director to write. If we encounter any comrades who misunderstand us when we get there, we should tell them that we were sent by the factory director and that Director Fang was present."
Several people couldn't help but admire Wang Ying for his thorough consideration. With this note, they would save themselves a lot of trouble.
Zhou Qianjin said, "Director Fang was also present. He actually agreed to the factory director giving the team leader a note?"
"The factory is not his, why shouldn't he open it?" Luo Wenshu said.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "That's right. It's all for the country and the collective. Director Fang is the descendant of a martyr, so he's the most generous."
Luo Wenshu looked at Wang Ying and felt that she was more and more capable.
"Let's go and have lunch first," said Wang Ying.
This time, the five people in their group sat together to eat.
Wang Ying and his colleagues were in the cafeteria, and they clearly felt that many of their colleagues were looking at them with unfriendly eyes.
Xu Lili whispered, "My dear, we haven't gone yet. If we go, they will eat us up."
"That's why we want you to read the employee code of conduct carefully," Wang Ying said. "That way, if they want to eat you, they won't have a place to start, and they might end up eating them instead. Of course, we try not to eat them."
Zhou Qianjin glanced at Wang Ying and couldn't help but admire this young woman. How could she be so mature at such a young age? Even if she had Director Zhao as her father-in-law, she had only been married for a little over a month. So, it couldn't have been Director Zhao who taught her; she must be naturally talented.
Zhou Qianjin sighed inwardly. If he wanted to move up in the future, it would be difficult for him to surpass Wang Ying.
After the five of them finished their meal, they went back to the office for lunch.
Luo Wenshu said, "When we enter the workshop, we need to wear work clothes, shoe covers, masks and hats. We have to apply for this from the logistics department."
"Well, one of you goes, or I go," said Wang Ying.
Luo Wenshu raised his hand: "I'll go! But the team leader needs to lend me the factory director's note."
"Don't quarrel with others," said Wu Haiyang.
"Why are you arguing? I don't like arguing with people." Luo Wenshu said. As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him.
"There are a lot of things, I'll go with you." Wu Haiyang felt that he also had to perform well and not drag the group down.
"That's fine." Luo Wenshu said.
After lunch break, Luo Wenshu and Wu Haiyang went to the logistics department to pick up workshop work clothes and other items.
Arriving at the logistics center, Wu Haiyang took a look at the comrade's work ID. He wasn't the same person from that morning. His attitude wasn't very good either. He was mumbling something, and Luo Wenshu followed suit.
In the end, I gave them everything they deserved.
The two returned to the office, and Zhou Qianjin asked them, "How is it?"
Luo Wenshu raised his head and said, "It's a piece of cake."
"I don't even know what you're mumbling about." Zhou Haiyang said.
"I don't know what he was mumbling about. I was mumbling about how good socialism is..." said Luo Wenshu.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and get to work." Wang Ying stood up and said.
"Let's go!" Wu Haiyang stood up.
The five people left the office. Team Leader Han from the quality inspection team next door saw them and asked, "Team Leader Wang, what are you doing during working hours?"
Wang Ying said, "Let's go to the workshop and learn."
"Oh, then you go." Team leader Han nodded.
Wang Ying and his group of five arrived at Workshop 4 and went to the locker room first. The locker room was empty, so they couldn't enter the second door.
Wang Ying pressed the bell on the wall, waiting for someone to come. After waiting for a long time, there was no response. Wang Ying kept pressing it. Finally, a middle-aged man came and asked them coldly, "Why are you pressing the bell during working hours? Who pressed it just now?"
Wang Ying stepped forward and said, "I rang it. Isn't it written on the wall? Press the bell when no one is around."
"What are you doing?" asked the middle-aged man.
Wang Ying said, "The factory director sent us to Workshop 4 for training. Didn't Director Fang tell you? Comrade, we need to change into work clothes and disinfect before entering the workshop. Please cooperate with us."
Seeing that Wang Ying was not afraid at all and even brought up the factory director and Director Fang, the middle-aged man's arrogance instantly subsided a lot.
"You go to the back to change, men on the left and women on the right. After changing, go through the second door." said the middle-aged man.
Wang Ying and his colleagues changed their clothes, disinfected themselves, and finally entered the fourth workshop.
The workshop area is about 400 to 500 square meters and is divided into several areas: raw material area, pre-treatment area, production area, cooling area...
The employees in each area were handling their own tasks, sifting dough, kneading dough, adding ingredients... There were about thirty people in the entire workshop, and no one looked up at them.
They had obviously been told not to pay any attention to Wang Ying and his group. Workshop Director Fang Hongjun wasn't there at the moment, so he must have been deliberately avoiding them to intimidate them.
Zhou Qianjin and the others looked at Wang Ying, who raised his head and led them to the raw material area. They first looked at the raw materials on the shelves, and then they checked every shelf layer by layer.
After watching, they went to the pre-processing area and saw workers weighing ingredients, so they leaned over to watch. Neither side said anything, but the operator got a little nervous under Wang Ying's watchful eyes. Wang Ying felt his hands shaking as he held the small scale.
"Comrade, don't shake. If you put too many ingredients in, it will cause a production accident." Wang Ying kindly reminded him.
The operator said nothing and continued with his work.
If they didn't want to talk about it, then they didn't. Wang Ying and the others had their own eyes to see. No matter what they did, Wang Ying and the others kept an eye on them. The people in Wang Ying's group basically kept quiet, except for the occasional question: "Did you remember what ingredients this comrade put in? How much sugar, how much oil..."
The factory is currently producing peach cakes, which are popular among people of all ages, serving as both a filling and satisfying snack. They sometimes also give out peach cakes as a year-end bonus.
Peach pastries are delicious, but they break easily, so the proportions in the recipe are crucial. Wang Ying tried peach pastries from the Beichong Subsidiary Food Factory, and found them sometimes crumbled to pieces, while others were so hard they lost their characteristic crispness. She felt their recipe was unstable and needed improvement.
Wang Ying took note of the ratio of material released by the operators and felt that she would definitely propose adjustments if she had the chance in the future.
Director Fang didn't show up in the workshop until almost the end of the working day. By then, Wang Ying and the others had already "learned" in the production area.
"Director Fang, you're here!" Wang Ying greeted Fang Hongjun warmly as soon as he saw him.
"I went to a meeting." Fang Hongjun made up an excuse for himself and said coldly, "How are you studying?"
Wang Ying said: "The comrades are very dedicated in their work and we have benefited a lot."
Fang Hongjun looked at her: "That's good."
"I have a question to ask you." Wang Ying said.
"What's the problem?" Fang Hongjun saw an employee winking at him and gave a soothing look.
"Where do the formulas for these products in our factory come from?" Wang Ying asked.
"It was passed down by the master." said Fang Hongjun.
Wang Ying recalled that the food factory was originally a consolidation of several private workshops, so during the integration process, mistakes in the recipes could have occurred, intentionally or unintentionally. While these mistakes wouldn't render the cakes inedible, they could still result in less than perfect results, such as this peach pastry. Furthermore, even if the recipe was correct, the temperature and cooking method were crucial.
Wang Ying felt that he had to go back and ask Director Zhao, as he must know more.
Fang Hongjun was called away by comrades in the workshop after just speaking a few words to them. Wang Ying and the others ignored him and continued to "study".
It was soon time to get off work, and Wang Ying and his friends left first.
As soon as Wang Ying and the others left, Fang Hongjun asked, "What did they do today?"
"They didn't do anything but watch. They hardly spoke and didn't ask us any questions. They didn't touch anything here. They were very well behaved."
Their rules were not a good thing for the other Red Army. Last year, he had agreed with a few of his "old friends" that they would do more this year, but now that they were involved, he had lost not only money and tickets, but also connections.
Fang Hongjun tried hard, but he still managed to get these five people into the factory, forming a team and taking over his most profitable job. He couldn't just let it go like this...
Wang Ying and several others changed their clothes according to the instructions in the manual and left the workshop.
They returned to the office together. Wang Ying packed her bag and said to them, "You'd better write a work note for the day. Of course, I'm not forcing you to write, it's just a suggestion."
"I'll write it." Xu Lili said immediately.
The others also said they wanted to write. Wang Ying smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go home and talk about it tomorrow."
As several people left work together, Xu Lili couldn't help but whisper, "They must have colluded. They didn't say a word to us and even winked at each other when we weren't paying attention!"
"You have something to hide!" Luo Wenshu said.
"Without evidence, we can't make random statements," Zhou Qianjin said. "Don't forget, we're going there to learn."
"That's right," said Wang Ying.
As they approached the factory gate, Xu Lili jokingly said, "Oh, Team Leader Wang's exemplary husband didn't come to pick you up today."
Wang Ying smiled and said, "He has a job too, so he might have to work overtime. Our house isn't far away, so I can just walk there."
"Hurry home, hurry home. We've been smelling the scent of peach cakes for so long and we're starving." Xu Lili and Wang Ying waved their hands and trotted away.
Wang Ying also walked quickly towards home, thinking to herself that she was a little disappointed that Zhao Yunsheng didn't come to pick her up. This is human nature.
Wang Ying walked faster and faster, thinking only of getting home quickly and seeing Zhao Yunsheng sooner. This kind of girlish joy and excitement was the first time in her two lifetimes that Wang Ying had experienced. Although the distance was not far, Wang Ying felt like she had been walking for a long time.
When she returned home, the courtyard gate was open. Wang Ying pushed the door open and stood at the door in a daze. She saw Yanfen carrying a plate and walking from the kitchen to the main room.
